After having one of the best seasons a Wildcat player has ever produced on the football field, Ka’Deem Carey seems to be on a roll of less-than-stellar decisions in the offseason, getting kicked out of Thursday night’s basketball game against UCLA, confronting staff and campus police in the process:
He and his cousin, Hakeem Adams-Johnson, were “double seated and sitting on the backs of the chairs.” Frank Duarte, a UA Athletics event staff member, initially asked Adams-Johnson and Carey to leave, according to the report.Duarte asked them to move on “four occasions.” After Carey ignored him, a University of Arizona Police Department officer asked Carey to move and he complied.
Carey told the officer they were sitting in that area because “they couldn’t find their seats.”
When the officer asked both of them for their tickets, Carey responded, “Get the fuck out of my face.” He then asked, “Do you know who I am? I’m an All-American.”
The officer asked Carey and Adams-Johnson to accompany him outside. They agreed, but Carey approached the officer, asking what the problem was. He said that the pair did not actually have tickets, but were having problems getting them, according to the report.
Carey then “got close” to the officer, who told Carey to “back off.” When Carey did not comply, the officer spoke in “a louder voice” and Carey took several steps back, according to the report.

On a course for being a wash-out. His attitude will get him in trouble along the way, as it is already doing. Restraining orders to getting in the law’s face. Ignorant fool! No matter how good you might be, you will never be above the law.
His career is looking like he would be much better siuted for the NBA.
I was at the meet and greet where my son and I got to meet this season’s Wildcat Football team and have them sign the team poster. The line to Ka’Deem was the longest but we waited til we got his autograph. One thing that I told him was, “Behave yourself… don’t be naughty… your education comes first.. I don’t want to see your name in the newspaper…” Everyone makes mistakes… I think Ka’Deem needs to realize his behavior is his downfall… He needs to show the Judge, Coach Rodriquez, and UofA AD he is doing what he can to change in order to be a good citizen… Someone needs to talk to this young man..! I am a UofA Alum and all of us know that Wildcats DO NOT BEHAVE THAT WAY!!! Get a grip Ka’Deem!!
